Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and spices. Heat the butter sugar and golden syrup in a small pan until dissolved, stirring frequently, then allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180C (Fan 160C) / 350 F. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to about 3mm (1/4 in) thick. Cut into animal shapes using the cutters . Bake the bisuits for 11 to 12 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
